Abstract

The purpose of this study is synthesizing silicone polymer which is used the material of contact lens and solving the problems of water content and light transmittance for gas permeable contact lens. We used NVP, MMA, HEMA monomer for polymerization and EGDMA as cross linking regent. Also, we polymerized with a several formulation arrangement for the best condition as contact lens. After that. we measured water content and light transmittance by each sample which was polymerized. We polymerized the silicone polymer which is simultaneously pursued by the transparent and water content of the material and measured their physical nature of each sample on this study.

본 연구의 목적은 콘택트렌즈의 재료로 사용되는 실리콘 고분자를 합성하여 실리콘 재질의 가스 투과성 콘택트렌즈의 함수율과 광 투과성의 문제를 해결하는 데에 있다. 실험에 사용된 monomer들로는 NVP(N-vinly-pyrrolidone), MMA(methyl methacrylate), HEMA(Hydroxyethylmethacrylate)등과 교차결합제로 EGDMA(Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate)를 사용하였으며, 또한 콘택트렌즈 제조의 가장 좋은 조건을 위한 많은 조합 공식을 토대로 중합한 후, 중합된 개체를 가지고 함수율 측정과 광투과율 측정을 실시하였다. 본 실험의 연구 결과 재질의 투명성과 함수율을 동시에 추구하는 고분자를 합성하였고 그들의 물성을 측정하였다.
